More about the book

The paper explores the scarcity of women in leadership roles within S&P 500 companies, examining the underlying reasons and their implications. It identifies two main factors contributing to this issue: the self-effacement of women and the challenges they face in aspiring to high positions. The analysis highlights the cultural and societal barriers that affect women's ambitions and the broader impact of their underrepresentation in leadership on corporate dynamics and decision-making.
